Search under way for missing Boeing cargo plane off Karachi
Pakistan is searching for a Boeing cargo plane missing off the coast of Karachi after radar showed it “rapidly descending,” the Pakistan Airport Authority (PAA) said in a post on X.
The plane, operated by the private K2 Airways, had five crew members on board and was en route from Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates to Karachi when it went missing on Tuesday evening after reporting a “navigational system issue,” the authority said.
At 21:21 pm Pakistan time (1621 GMT), the aircraft was observed on radar “rapidly descending and with rapid heading change,” and communication contact was lost about 155 nautical miles west of Karachi, the PAA said.
A rescue coordination centre was activated and a search effort launched at sea to locate the missing aircraft, it added.
